‘Who is going to do the gerrymandering’

According to an article in the ‘Colorado Statesman’ legislative redistricting is done by a commission consisting of the four party leaders in the legislature, three members appointed by the Governor, and four appointed by the Chief Justice of the Colorado Supreme Court.

Congressional redistricting is done by a bill passed by the state legislature and signed by the Governor. If they can’t agree, the Federal District Court will do it.

I’m sypathetic to backing someone who would be tough on illegal illegation. The trouble with Tancredo is I have a difficulty believing he’s genuine after his support for Romney.

I won’t call for him to drop out. I refuse to make it easier for the parties by calling “spoilers” out. They should be good enough to win even with a third party challenge. If they aren’t, they don’t deserve to win. But I don’t want to hear about how he’s a real conservative with unshakeable principles. If he was as hardline as some supporters make him out to be, he’d never have supported the man who employed illegals on his own grounds.
